Rendered with a calm, almost meditative sensibility, this floral cross rests on a pristine white plane and is seen from a slightly elevated angle that reveals both its structural intent and soft, floral language. The composition is anchored by broad, luminous Ti leaves whose smooth, waxy texture and deep green veins give the cross a living, protective character-like sheltering wings or an unfurling mantle. At the heart of the cross and trailing gently along each arm are clusters of ivory and pure white lisianthus, their tender, ruffled petals layered into shapes that convey purity and gentle resilience. Small white chrysanthemum sprays or similarly rounded blooms pepper the design with points of light, while soft lavender-toned limonium or petite asters thread throughout, offering a muted contrast that calms the eye. Fine, airy greenery is tucked into the floral masses to create a sense of depth and to soften transitions between leaf and blossom. The overall palette-deep green, ivory, and pale purple-reads as a quiet hymn: restrained, consoling, and full of careful intent. The smell is whisper-light and green, more the scent of leaves and morning air than of heavy perfume. One can imagine this cross being carried into a service in a small Millwall church or laid beside a riverside memorial near Canary Wharf, its form and hues chosen to embody faith, remembrance, and gentle consolation.

A solemn, elegant floral cross photographed from a slight overhead angle against a plain white backdrop, this sympathy tribute is built on a foundation of broad, glossy tropical leaves-Ti leaves with visible veins-that form the defined arms and central shaft of the Christian cross. The dense green base reads almost architectural: smooth, waxy surfaces catch a soft, even light and create a calm, reverent plane for the flowers to rest upon. At the intersection and tracing each arm are tightly gathered clusters of soft, ruffled lisianthus in creamy ivory and pure white; their multi-petalled forms open like gentle cups of light. Interspersed among them are small, rounded white spray chrysanthemums and tiny daisy-like blooms that add luminous contrast and quiet texture. Sprays of pale lavender or powder-purple accent flowers-likely limonium or small asters-weave through the composition, providing delicate punctuation and a whisper of cool color. Slender, finer greens and tiny filler foliage are tucked into the floral masses to soften edges and add natural depth. The scent is faintly green and clean, a suggestion of leaves and freshly opened petals rather than an overpowering perfume. The overall mood is composed and respectful, a visual language of peace and remembrance meant for funeral services, wakes, or graveside ceremonies. Imagine this piece arriving at a Millwall chapel near South Dock or being laid at a service in Millwall Park-the traditional colour palette and crafted cross shape convey faith, consolation, and enduring compassion in times of mourning.

    I was worried that the flowers wouldn't be delivered on time thus I called Handy Flowers to check the progress of my order. They contacted the couriers and told me when the flowers were expected to be delivered. Very professional service!
